Subscribe This is a day early but I wanted to tell all you Mother’s “Happy Mother’s Day”!! Motherhood is a hard job and we all deserve a little praise 
I will be spending my weekend with my daughter, husband, mother, sister, nieces, and grandmother — it’s going to be a perfect Mother’s Day! Little Lily couldn’t wait until tomorrow to give me the gift she made! I love it!!:
I was spending time with my lovely, beautiful sister recently and we were just chatting about life. She told me she was organizing her house and came across a box of images. She opened the box and inside were her wedding pictures.
She remembers her wedding day fondly, as do I — I was her maid of honor and they were married under one of the biggest oak trees I’ve ever seen. It’s was a beautiful wedding! We kept talking about that day. She remembers telling the photographer that they didn’t need that many photos and that they were in a hurry to get to their party. The photographer (who was also a friend of ours) kept saying that they are very important and quickly continued to snap dozens of frames. We then headed off to the reception and partied late into the night. It was a great event! The hall was rockin’ with everyone dancing!! And it was all documented so well thanks to the photographer!
We sure are glad to have those photos now. Those photos mean the world to her, to her children, her in-laws, and to my family. They are now a family heirloom that documents the special love they had. As many of you know, my sister’s husband died suddenly at the age of 30.
Photography is so much more important than one might realize. Photographs freeze time — you can’t recapture a moment, an event, or an experience once it’s over. Photography is a way to document your memories, your life, your love…
I love this new bag that Kelly Moore just came out with! I’ve been on the search for a stylish camera bag that will fit all of my gear in it for years now — I’m going to order the purple one!!:

On Friday my daughter said to me “Mommy can we go take a walk in nature?”. I figured if she’s asking then it’s time to get outside, plus I love nature. We went to Bald Hill and I expected it to be packed given the great weather but we only saw two other people which made it very peaceful. It was a beautiful day although it was freezing! Here are some images I took of Miss Lily and our dog Pepper:
She is such a joy and I love being her mom!!
[*My blog had some major issues over the weekend so if you were on here you might have noticed it looked different. My server company finally fixed the issues, but my blog was down for three days. I guess on a positive note -- at least they were able to fix it!]
